What does Nylon flock really mean? I just received this blanket and it says Nylon with insulated base. What is "insulated base"?

The insulated base appears to be merely a foam sheet that the nylon is flocked onto. All I know for sure is that once you have one of these blankets, you'll love it. I keep mine on the bed year round...it's perfect!! Easy to wash/dry, light weight, just perfect. Who cares about the specifics....I LOVE this blanket!!!

Does the blanket need to be washed to remove the smell.

Purchased one on 9/20/17. After 4 cycles in the washer, the smell of VOCs are still there...slowly decreasing after each wash. See all the negative reviews for similar observations about smell.

Is this blanket dust mite proof?

There is no such thing as a dust mite proof blanket. Dust and mites will always land on your blanket! You can get dust mite covers for a duvet however. They will zip at the bottom and not allow the dust through onto the duvet.

Where is it manufactored

The vellux blanket I have was made in China. It is a full/queen size.
